A Plot to Sieze the Works and Kill the

PITTsBURG, PA, July l6.-The new
men who were sent to the coke region yes
terday, went to work this morning, and
the operators say the reports from the
regions to-day indicate that the great strike
will collapse by the first Of next week.
Evidence of break is being brought TO
the notice of the leaders at every turn, and
the labor people are more disheartened TO-
day than any time during the strike. The
sheriff experienced considerable difficulty
in procuring deputies to-day to assist in
eyicting strikers at Redstone and Leisen-
ring, and when Imprisonment was threat
ened all available men secreted themselves.
Sheriff Miller is determined to proceed,
and several evictions will be made this at

A Sensational Story.

PITTsBURG, July 16.-A sensational dis
patch to the Chronicle Telegraph from
Greensburg, Pa, says: Information reach
ed here this morning through an officer of
the law that murderous plot had been
laid by the striking Hungarians at and
near the Leisenring works to surprise the
Pinkerton detectives at that place and
drive of all the new men working there.
All the details OF the attack had been ar
ranged by Hungarian who formerly held
a high position as an officer in the Hun
garian army, and who has been for the
past few months drilling the striking
Huns in the Hungarian manual of arms.
The strikers, consisting mostly of Hun
garians, thousand strong, were to have
proceeded to the Leisenring Works at the
break of day, next Monday and draw off
all of the detectives and men working there
and kill and wound all who dared to resist
them. The aforesaid Hungarian becom-
ing frightened gave the whole thing away
to one of the officers at the coke works,
and bought ticket at Scottdale for New
York, and left there this morning for the
east. lie informed an officer just az he
mounted the train that his life would pay
the pehalty for his treachery to his cOun-
trymen il lie remained, 20 he left.
Whether the Huns will carry out their
plans without their chief or await more
favorable opportunity could not at this
writing be found out but they are doubt
less in very excited and nervous mood
and the slightest provocation may lead
them TO do almost any unlawful act.
The report was not credited by the OPP
orators here. They report everything
quiet in the region and the strike nearing
an end.

pretty howdy do in the municipal affairs Of
our city government At meeting OF the
City Council last night, G. L. Kidd was
removed from the police force. Kidd had
been appointed by Mayor W. F. Richards
and has been kept in Office it is alleged BY
an illegal vote Of the Mayor upon the
question of the removal Of said Kidd; the
Mayor reipstated Kidd to-day in defiance
Of the order of the Council. The Mayor
and Kidd have bad difficulty with some
employees Of the B. & o. railroad company
and the following instructions were recently
given to the policemen by the Mayor, said
order being printed in the Telegram Of July
=: ''Our orders to the police and three or
four connected with the show were TO club
as long as life was in thera. Had Feeny
struck Maphis his hand would scarcely
have made the motion until he would have
been Drained with guy rope stick which
one Of the men had about his clothes" 1t
seems that Feeny, the railroad employe,
had fight with one of the the Clarksburs
policemen in Grafton on Decoration
Day, and by order Of Agent VIII
son the obnoIioux policeman was recently
elected from the platform Of the company.
The Mayor took the opportunity to issue
the above order. Feeny has filed charges
against the Mayor, which will probably
involve his impeachment The impeach-
ment trial is set for next Friday night, and
the almost unanimous sentiment Of the
community is that the Mayor must go.
One or two members Of the Council, how
ever, are warm friends ofthe editor Mayor,
and have stood by him.
The Vance shooting matter has quieted

Horrible Accident by which Three Men

CHICAGO, July l6.-A horrible accident
occurred this morning at the Union Steel
works, corner of Ashland and Archer ave
nues, by which three men are hkly to die.
The men were engaged in pouring hot iron

the physicians declare that their recovery
is out Of the question. Two Of the injured
ore Poles, and the third is a Hungarian.
Nine men were struck by the molten iron,
and three will die. Their names are:
Michael Hische, George Woodford aud

James Hurst and David Jenkins. Wood
ford and Hisch were married. They and
Kutsche were taken to the hospital, while
the other injured men &ere removed to
their homes. J. F. johnson, the foreman,
